A nationwide pest control company uses the acronym \u201cSLEEP\u201d to help travelers to remember some useful bed bug tips.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u201cS\u201d \u2013 Searching your hotel room for bed bug infestations<\/a> is imperative if you want to avoid bringing the bloodsuckers home with you.\u00a0 Adult bed bugs are easy to see as they are reddish-brown in color and about the size of an apple seed.\u00a0 Look for bed bug skins that are cast off and cream-colored eggs as well.\u00a0 New bed bug eggs will be the size of the head of a pin and will be extremely difficult to detect.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u201cL\u201d \u2013 Look for evidence of bed bugs in all locations such as the: mattress, box spring, head board, bed frame, bedding, curtains, dressers, nightstands, light fixtures, furniture, behind picture frames, electrical components, and baseboards.\u00a0 On airplanes, taxis, trains, and rental cars, bed bugs have been found within the seat cushions.\u00a0 Remember, bed bugs are masters at hiding, so they can be lurking in any crack or crevice.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u201cE\u201d \u2013 Elevate your luggage, but never place your luggage on the bed.\u00a0 Hotel luggage racks are a convenient place to store your luggage while you travel.\u00a0 New Jersey pest control<\/a> experts recommend that you place your luggage in the bathroom area rather than the bedroom area because bed bugs have a difficult time crawling and climbing on slick surfaces.\u00a0 For additional protection, it is recommended that you keep your luggage zipped shut and sealed in a plastic garbage bag to avoid any bed bug hitchhikers gaining access to your luggage.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u201cE\u201d \u2013 Examine your luggage before you depart your destination and when you arrive home as well.\u00a0 Despite your best efforts, because of their elusive behavior, you may still find that you have unwittingly brought home some unwanted souvenirs from your vacation.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u201cP\u201d \u2013 Prevent bed bugs from invading your home after you travel by laundering all of your clothing, clean or dirty, in hot water and drying on the hottest dryer setting.\u00a0 Bed bugs and their eggs cannot withstand temperatures over 120 degrees.\u00a0 Carefully, vacuum all luggage, inside and out, paying particular attention to the seamed areas.\u00a0 As an added precaution, luggage can be sealed in a large garbage bags and placed in the sunshine or in an enclosed car.\u00a0 The summer heat will elevate the temperature of the luggage to help kill any potential bed bug stowaways that you might have missed.<\/p>\n
